Under Gods Command

Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Those who are not “flesh and blood” are demons over whom Satan has control. They are not mere fantasies-they are very real. We face a powerful army whose goal is to defeat Christ’s church. And they try every device to turn us away from him and back to sin. Although we are assured victory, we must engage in the struggle until Christ returns, because Satan is constantly battling against all who are on the Lord’s side. We need supernatural power to defeat Satan, and God has provided this by giving us his Holy Spirit within us and his armor surrounding us. If you feel discouraged, remember Jesus’ words to Peter. “On this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. (Mathew 16:18)

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
